Nvidia CEO faces spying probe, raising questions about his successor

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces an investigation into whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort, raising questions about his potential replacement at the AI chipmaker he co-founded in 1993. The probe follows reports of a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese tech executive accused of spying, which Huang admitted to in a staff message while denying compromised secrets. Analysts say no clear successor exists, given his direct oversight of up to 60 employees. Nvidia, worth $4.5 trillion, relies heavily on Huang's leadership and industry advocacy, though some experts note its technology roadmap is set and other executives could step up if needed.
